Last blog!!!!

This is my last blog people. And i would like to say it was an privilege to be in the classroom with you all. I don't think anyone is gonna read this blog but i am just writing what i feel, no matter if anyone replies or not. I loved almost all the lectures and i missed couple of it due to my illness. So yeah sometimes things happen. you can stop it. When you wake up tomorrow morning and out of nowhere your head starts to ache then you can do nothing. you just have to accept the fact that you are physically incapable to be in the lecture that day. Since this class was my first honors class, i was really excited and i was really pleased how the classes worked. We had blogs, we had assignments, we had essay, we watched movies, we analysed them, we had a lecture just for browsing for database. It was cool.I want to thank Ms.Rhodes for the way she has put together all the ropes in order to give us this wonderful opportunity. Thank you everyone.

Women's Leadership and Activism

This blog is dedicated to a program that happened this April 9Th 2009, 7 pm at Newport News Room,Webb Center, which featured Miriam Perez.

Miriam Zoila Perez is an editor at the popular and widely read blog Feministing.com as well as the founder of RadicalDoula.com. She has worked as a reproductive justice organizer and birth activist in the Latina community and now now focuses much of her activism online. During her presentation, Miriam will share her experiences as a young Latina queer activist and writer. She will also talk about what the future of youth activism looks like and how you can get involved during this crucial time for social change.

Initially i thought i would encourage everyone to go to this program via this blog, but i guess i was too late already. Above i have briefed a little bit about Miriam and how she actively participates in promoting gender equality (feminism). It is worth a look. Please contact "The Women's Center" , Division of Student Affairs, Webb Center for further information about her next possible visit.

The movie "Fight Club"

I loved the movie "Fight Club". I had never seen it before. I loved the climax of the movie and the story too. I loved the movie so i did some research on it, to see if it was based on true story.The answer was a big NO. It was a 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. In 1999 the book was banned by the People's Republic of China government for giving instructions on how to make various explosive devices including napalm, C4, and dynamite. The novel won the 1996 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award and also the the 1997 Oregon Book Award for Best Novel.The film was directed by David Fincher. In the movie Brad Pitt is portrayed as Tyler Durden and Edward Norton as the nameless narrator.The duo was completely out of the world and even the movie. Analysing it through the issue of gender. I thought Tyler was masculine part of the unnamed narrator. Since, the narrator possessed some behaviour like caring and he is in love with Martha.yeah you can question me that loving is not being feminine, and i answer would be i see violence as masculine in compared to love so yeah. Since Tyler shows no sign of love ..and how he is shown as being completely violent and disrespectful to Martha. It just feels so masculine. I have always thought love to me a little bit feminine. Please respond.
